Sir
I recd yours returning the applications of John Carr John Hall & James Dawson with remarks thereon.
You state on that (bymistake) John Carr that the affidavit should be certified under the seal of the court; it is conceived that the Clerks certificate should follow that of the Judge where the declaration is made out of court but where made in open court the Act being silent as to the mode of certifying then, it ought to be done in the usual form
My certificate in either of the cases stating the indigent situation of the applicants would be of service I could make such an one from my own knowledge respecting each. The applicants all have stated in their declarations that they have not any person to prove their service by and still state the same. Should the applicants be enabled to procure the certificate of any person stating their service the same shall be forward

Should the rolls be recd at the war office that will suffice I suppose.
Enclosed is also the additional Declara- tions of Daniel Peterson and John Morgan which you will also act on.
I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servt H.H.
